11^th We spent the day in visiting various part
of the city esspecially Peals Musium we
went all through it & found it to be quite
interesting two things of Note we examined
closely the body of the Mermaid found & the
Mamouth skeleton, we saw several hundr
ed portraits of Distinguished men &c
We Also visited the mint but the works
were not in operation. The engine rollers, &
dies and all the mashinery was the highest
polished & best finished of any works I
ever saw. After finisheding the walk of the
day our quorum divided & attended prayer
meetings in various parts of the city I accompa-
nied Elder Pratt & Grant to the Navy yard
I spoke over one hour & was followed by Elder
O Pratt
